It aims to find the most effective combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. If you are a woman aged 18-70 with this diagnosis and your tumor can be surgically removed, this trial may be an option for you.
BeijingAges 18–70 - NCT05398861RecruitingPhase 2
Testing utidelone plus bevacizumab for HER2-negative advanced breast cancer
This trial studies whether utidelone combined with bevacizumab can shrink tumors and slow progression in women with advanced HER2-negative breast cancer that has already been treated at least twice. It may help people who have limited options after earlier chemotherapy and/or hormone (endocrine) treatments.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT04862663RecruitingPhase 3
Capivasertib plus hormone therapy for HR+ breast cancer after progression
This Phase 3 trial studies capivasertib (a targeted pill) plus fulvestrant (a hormone injection) together with a CDK4/6 inhibitor to treat HR+ / HER2- advanced breast cancer that has returned or grown despite earlier hormone therapy. It may help by blocking growth signals linked to cancer cell survival.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–99 - NCT05190094RecruitingPhase 2
Test blood-based laser scan to guide first-line breast cancer treatment
This Phase 2 study uses a specialized laser test on a blood sample to predict how well palbociclib plus letrozole or anastrozole will work. It’s for certain postmenopausal women with HER2-negative, hormone-receptor positive, advanced (stage IIIb/IV) breast cancer.
BlidaAges 18 years+ - NCT04985266RecruitingPhase 2
Watch blood DNA for early breast cancer return, then add palbociclib
This study checks for early signs that ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer may be coming back by testing your blood for cancer DNA. If signs are found, it tests whether adding palbociclib plus fulvestrant works better than standard hormone therapy alone to prevent recurrence.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT04997993RecruitingPhase 1
Leflunomide for PTEN-altered or HER2-negative metastatic cancers
This Phase 1 trial studies whether leflunomide can slow or control advanced (metastatic) cancers in people whose tumors have specific PTEN changes or who have HER2-negative breast cancer. It’s primarily a safety-and-dosing study, but it may offer benefit if your cancer matches the tumor marker requirements.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05075512RecruitingPhase 2
Anlotinib with fulvestrant for advanced, HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial studies whether adding anlotinib (a targeted medicine) to fulvestrant (a hormone-blocking injection) can improve outcomes for people with advanced HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. It focuses on safety and effectiveness when cancer has returned or progressed after hormone treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT04824014RecruitingPhase 2
PET imaging for ER+ advanced breast cancer
This trial uses a special PET scan called 4FMFES-PET to take detailed pictures of ER-positive breast cancer that has spread. It helps doctors see where the cancer is and how active it is, which may guide treatment decisions.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT04254263RecruitingPhase 3
Pyrotinib after breast cancer therapy for HER2-positive early disease
This trial studies whether adding pyrotinib after standard treatment helps prevent breast cancer from coming back in people with HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer. You may be eligible if you finished chemotherapy plus trastuzumab and still had signs of cancer in the tissue removed during surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT03375983RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immune treatment with malaria cells for advanced solid cancers
This early-phase study tests a “malaria-based” immune treatment to help the immune system fight advanced cancers. It’s designed for people whose cancer can be measured on scans and whose organs and blood counts are strong enough for immunotherapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05530057RecruitingPhase 2
Eribulin plus or minus trastuzumab for HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding trastuzumab to eribulin improves outcomes for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has come back or spread. It’s meant for patients whose cancer has progressed after prior HER2 and chemotherapy treatments.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT05019690RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug combo for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial studies how well apatinib plus albumin-bound paclitaxel works for advanced triple-negative breast cancer that has come back or spread. It may help shrink tumors and control the disease by targeting cancer growth in more than one way.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT04332588RecruitingPhase 1
Testing PET/MRI monitoring for HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery
This early-phase study looks at how well PET/MRI scans can monitor treatment response in people with HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery. You may be asked to undergo specific scans during “neoadjuvant” therapy (treatment given before the main operation).
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04282031RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
BPI-1178 for advanced breast cancer or solid tumors
This early-phase study tests BPI-1178 in people with advanced (stage 4 or hard-to-treat) solid tumors, including HR+/HER2- breast cancer. It looks at how well the treatment works and how safe it is, especially after standard treatments have stopped working or aren’t an option.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03474822RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Plasmodium immune treatment for breast and liver cancers
This early-phase study tests an immune-based treatment (using Plasmodium) for people with advanced breast cancer or advanced liver cancer. It aims to see whether the treatment is safe and whether it can help the body’s immune system fight the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05341492RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T therapy for EGFR/B7H3-positive lung and triple-negative breast cancer
This early-phase trial tests CAR-T cells designed to find and attack tumors that show EGFR or B7H3 markers. It may help people with advanced lung cancer or triple-negative breast cancer after standard treatments.
